Stumbled on this and thought it was worth a share. I had no idea you can eat gorse!

    Oh wow, did it taste nice?

    I’ve only eaten ferns and stuff. I really love bracken shoots and wish it wasn’t a carcinogen.

      It’s so long ago I honestly can’t remember the taste. I just remember being shown to peel and eat the new shoots

        Will have to try it sometime!

        I remember being shown how to eat the inside of thistles once. As a kid I ate a lot of random stuff from trees etc but was always too impatient to peel thistles by myself.
